“…The natural reservoir of stolbur disease in Serbia is the perennial, herbaceous weed Convolvulus arvensis (bindweed) (2). The most significant vector of stolbur was determined to be the Cixiid Hyalesthes obsoletus (1,2,30), which overwinters on roots of C. arvensis. Activity of H. obsoletus in Serbia starts during the end of June or beginning of July, with maximum flight in the middle of July, and is followed by stolbur symptoms appearing on pepper at the end of July and becoming severe by the second half of August (2).…”

“…Recurrent epidemic outbreaks of corn reddening in the Banat region, especially in dry years as occurs for stolbur disease of Solanaceae plants, the development of reddening on corn at approximately the same time as stolbur on pepper (2,30), and the great similarity (99% in 16S and 100% in spacer regions) between the stolbur phytoplasma detected in corn in 2005 and stolbur phytoplasma from pepper from Serbia, must be taken into consideration in further epidemiological studies.…”

Recurrent epiphytotic outbreaks of a disease of uncertain etiology known as reddening of corn (Zea mays) have occurred in some areas of Serbia during the last 50 years. Affected plants show early and abnormal ripening, dry precociously, and have poor, shriveled grains. Using molecular tools, phytoplasmas were detected in diseased plants and their identity was subsequently deduced as a subgroup 16SrXII-A strain by a variety of supporting assays involving restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified 16S rDNA and tuf gene sequences, selective amplification of phytoplasma DNA using primer pair G35p/m, similarity of 16-23S intergenic spacer region (SR) sequences, and similarity and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA gene sequences. Presence of stolbur phytoplasmas in corn with reddening symptoms is a new finding not only for Serbia: it is the first report of stolbur phytoplasma in this species worldwide.
